Where can I find free epub books on software development?

I know there are collections of links to various e-books, but there are important nuances:

  • epub format or another that is understood by standard iOS/Android readers
  • any pdf is not suitable, because. need reformatting for a small screen (say 5 inches)
  • automatic reformatting is also not suitable, because. breaks source code formatting
  • all sorts of github books are also good, but there is no reader interface (good idea for a startup, right?)

All this in order to comfortably read the book from the screen of the phablet.
The question is where to look for these?
Of course, you can just go to orelly or amazon and get $$$ off, but we're not looking for easy ways, are we? :)

There is a Flibusta bot in the cart: `flibusta free book bot` (no spaces). The bot is convenient because:
1) there is a description for each book;
2) offers books in various formats (including epub or fb2).
In short, a great option to familiarize yourself with the book before a potential purchase.

But PDF\CHM prevail there.

- but this produces a lot of PDF
- therefore it makes sense to first refine the query, for example, by adding "epub", but this will significantly reduce the volume of output, down to zero
A little here O'Reilly
This is a feature of the industry. I recommend to accept and read from a larger device.
